Which beer style or sub-style best embodies your personality? For me, I'd say it's hefeweizen. I'm not agressive or assertive, easy to get along with, friendly, and hold a traditional set of values. I'm not as outspoken or charismatic as some of the bigger, bolder styles, but I have traits that make me unique and interesting. I like mild weather, good food, and spending time with the ones I care most about. Also, don't put a lemon wedge in me. I wouldn't like that.
I would say a Strong Belgian of some sort, probably a pale (although BPA's aren't anywhere near my favorite). White, stocky, and outgoing. I would say Chocolate Stout but that's how I like my women
I am an Imperial Stout guy who enjoys sports and likes to take moonlit walks along the beach at night.
I think he may be on to something. Every other community has the equivalent of match.com; perhaps the craft beer community is next. To that, I say: larrrrrrrrrge!
I would be a red ale, something IPA-ish, but not over-hopped to hell. I would have a touch of crystal malt, and a pound of amber extract, just to include those who usually get no love. I'd be loud and angry, with a killer label and an amplifier that goes all the way to 11, like a proper METAL band bass player should be. But I'd also be reserved, thoughtful, and intelligent, with a secretly adventurous side like 007. My hops would include cascade, because it's my favorite hop, but probably some dry-hopped Amarillo too, and a touch of citra, just because it's all the rage, and it's damn good too. I wouldn't be so high in ABV that you couldn't enjoy a couple, but wouldn't be so light that you wouldn't also enjoy me on a crisp autumn morning. I would be there year round, as I'm not a seasonal or fly-by-night kinda guy. And there would be no circuses, waiting lists, or lotteries to obtain me, there would be plenty to go around. I would be rugged and tough, well at least enough to do a tough mudder or survive basic training, but wouldn't have to be so high-speed that da gubmint denied my existence. And I'd of course be friendly to the ladies, yet gentlemanly all the while, so as to maintain a certain respectability. In honor of that noblest of pastimes, Fishin', I'd probably have some sort of fish on the bottle, and would obtain the water from a clean mountain trout stream. And finally, I'd be friendly to the animals, especially dogs*, because dogs are people too, and donate a portion of my proceeds to conservation efforts and friends of dogs. *no, I wouldn't give any to a dog, dogs do not react well to hops. No dogs were harmed in the writing of this post
